>> ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. [ applause ]h. >> hi, everybody. welcome. great audience. thank you for being here. and welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. now, some viewers last week thought i was being a little contemptuous of the protesters who have taken over lower manhattan in the name of occupy wall street. look, i do realize that among the mobs that have taken over in trash, streets and parks there are some very genuine citizens who are understandably disgusted with the loss of jobs. it's not capitalism that fault in itself an abuse of it i said many many times before the debacle of tarp that we don't just have a money problem in america we have a moral problem. we stopped using wall street as a place for investments and products and services and we started turning it into a government-backed casino where the stakes are high but the

payouts even higher. oh, if you win, you get to keep it. but, if you lose, good old uncle sugar will bail you out with the money that he confiscated from hard working stiffs who ultimately will lose their jobs while their well-paid bosses will get rich even while they are bankrupting their companies. but it's apparent that many of the people who have made a mess of lower manhattan they don't know or care that their actions are doing more to hurt the lower wage earning support staff than it is the top executives. the misguided notion is that all of the blame is wall street. now, there are some culpable firms, especially the big insurance and finance giants that took taxpayer funded buyouts and then sat on the money that was intended to help people get loans and have insurance. they couldn't do that if not for the k street conclave of well paid lobbyists in d.c. who have won favors for their clients who paid them handsomely. let's norst let congress off the hook. the laws they passed created winners and losers in the

marketplace instead of letting market forces decide who stays and who goes. that's the fault of manipulative politicians from both the left and the right. but to demonize all business, now, that's misguided. instead of occupying wall street, maybe the protesters ought to find out what the private sector actually does. vacate wall street. think about this. what is if all the private sector businesses in america divided to vacate for a day? one day. all corporations and businesses across america just shut down. would our lives really be improved if the oil companies refused to sell gasoline or heating oil or if the banks shut down their atm's and teller lines? what if the grocery stores close their doors or if the airlines, bus companies or hotels shut down for entire day? if all the restaurants, barber shops florists and law office os -- wait a minute, on the law offices it might be good. what if wal-mart and home depot and apple computer and all the

cable tv operators quit for a day? how would shutting down business make our lives better? you know, i think americans do have a right to be angry. but maybe that anger ought to be focused, thoughtful and directed at members of congress and the k street lobbyists who really call the shots and who o have far moe to do with your future than some of the people who are on wall street. well, that's my view. i welcome yours. and you can contact me with your thoughts at mike huckabee.com. and you do, sign up for my facebook page or follow me on twitter. this week we heard that president obama added $70 million to his re-election war chest. but his poll numbers show that, well, americans are just not that happy with him. do you remember the grass roots enthusiasm for barack obama three years ago ♪ i have got a crush on obama ♪ baby, you are the best

candidate ♪ i'm here to re -- pick up your phone ♪ because i have got a crush on obama. >> mike: over 23 million people watched that video onwa youtube. there is no doubt that obama girl, amber etinger helped get the president elected. guess what, she is not that big of fan of his anymore. we brought her back. please welcome amber ettinger, the original obama girl. [ applause ] hi amber. >> hi. >> great to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> mike: what made obama attractive to you as a candidate for president four years ago? >> well, he showed a lot of hope, charisma, intelligence. he got people excited. he was kind of good-looking, right? he just got people excited and when i did that video, one of the biggest rewards was getting mail from people emailed

comments from people on youtube thise video inspired me to vote. i thought it was awesome. this one youtube video got people up into the polls. awesome. >> there is a tire video. who would have thought. for me that was the biggest reward. >> four years later you were quoted this week in an article for the daily caller, you are not that excited about obama's re-election. why? what happened? kind of like relationships. they could do no wrong. you are in law law land. everything was good as time goes by maybe he is not all what he cracked up to be. maybe what he speaks about he is having a hard time putting it into action. i'm not turning my back on him thatetely because i think would be disrespectful. he is the president. he aa year left. for me i'm not going to fully turn my back. has he had a hard time communicating and getting what he wants across and getting it done? absolutely. >> he has got some work to do. >> yes.

>> mike: if you had another, who would you choose? do you have someone else you think you might do a video for this year? >> what are you up to? [ laughter ] >> i'm up to the show right now. >> you said some wonderfully nice things in the daily caller article and you said i was a very very nice person that meant a lot to me. my staff thought just in case we might should prepare a t-shirt for you just in case. [ applause ] >> thank you so much. >> if the occasion should ever, you know, maybe provide itself you will be reddy. >> i would be ready i just want to say you are the nicest person that i have everce met. and it brings me kind of to tears because have you been the nicest person to me in the past four years. >> mike: i want everyone to know what a delightful person that amber is. she got a lot of criticism in some ways. and i thought how unfair because to know her is to know this really special and lovely but

most of all articulate and thoughtful young lady so best wishes to you. >> thank you so much. >> i'm looking forward to what's next innd your career. will tell you first. >> great to have you. >> thank you. >> there seems to be unofficial theme to tuesday's republic presidential debate in new hampshire. herman cain's opponents took every chance they could to attack his 999 plan. >> i think it's a catchy phrase. in fact, i thought it was the price of a pizza when i first heart about it. [ laughter ] >> the 999 plan isn't a jobs plan. it is a tax plan. >> the last thing you would do is give congress another pipeline of a revenue stream and this gives congress a pipeline in a sales tax. >> unlike herman's plan which could not pass because no -- how many people are here for a sales tax in new hampshire? raise your hand. there you go, herman. that's how many votes you will get in new hampshire.

>> mike: well, while his plan may not be outline that popular with fellow candidates. it seems to be registering with voters. latest "wall street journal" nbc poll shows that herman cain is the new leader of the republic field. and we have invited herman back to the show. he is going to be with us. but, first, we're going to let him hearh two tax experts debate the merits of his 999 plan. and then we're going to give herman a chance to respond he is standing by in tennessee where he is out campaigning today. he will be joining us in just a moment. right now, kevin, director of economic policy studies at the american enterprise institute and michael linden the director for tax and budget policy at the center for american progress join me. let's get to talking about this. mike, first of all, what's wrong with 999? >> well, i would say there is one major problem. there is a lot of problems. but the biggest one is that it would tax low and middle income people a lot heavier than it would tax very wealthy people.

be a very big tax cut for very wealthy people and very big tax increase for anybody making less than, say, auto or $60,000 a year. sometimes as much as doubling or even trip tripling tax burden. that's a problem that i don't think mr. cain has grappled with yet. >> mike: let's go to mr. has cet. what do you like about 999? you think it is worthwhile. >> thanks governor for the question. three things i would like to emphasize about 999. the first is very credible plan. i taught tax. i have been studying tax policy since i was in graduate school. long time ago sadly. modeled after really the best science there is about what the kind of best tax code there is credible plan. the second thick is the numbered as up. mr. cain hired fiscal associates to do a score. they showed actually i think that you need 9.1, 9.1, 9.1 to get the numbersum to add up. that's definitely within the mamar gin of area.

the firm that mr. cain hired was the same firm i hired when i was hired mccain plan. very credible firm. third thing is that 999 would create growth in jobs. i think if you go back to a book i y wrote about five years ago n tax policy co-authored berkeley in the economics department, then you could get that you would getou between 5% and 10% higher g.d.p. over a decade if we adopted a plan like this that would reduce the unemployment rate about 2% to 3%. i think those are three very strong points in favor of the plan. and the people who are saying that it's just a cockamamie scheme or something like that are actually ignoring a vast economic literature that supports plans like this. >> i certainly can understand why he didn't call it the 9.1, 9.1, 9.1 plan. that would have been less than catchy. michael, back to you. you said it will hurt poor people. one of the arguments for it is that it actually lowers the cost of goods when you take away a lot of corporate t taxes, things that currently raise the cost of goods. would it make it possible that people would pay some tax but

they would buy things at a cheaper rate? >> no. unfortunately not. look, the corporate tax falls mainly on the owners of capital and somewhat on the labor that work for those corporations. it doesn't get passed on to consumers there is a big debate about whether it's capital or labor. that's beside the point. the taxes aren't much higher because of the corporate income tax. we're talking a very large sales tax. not just the 9% that mr. cain claims. but the other, the business income tax which is essentially another sales tax. so what we're really talking 18% sales tax. that would absolutely jack prices way up. and, you know,ic another population that we need to talk about is the elderly. retired people. those are people that have saved up money over the course of their lives. they is paid income tax under the old plan. all of aall of a sudden under cs plan all that savings would be 18% less immediately because all the goods and services they would buy would be 18% more expensive. that's a real problem. >> mike: kevin, i have got to

let you have a final word here very quickly. respond to what michael has just said. >> right. the fact is that it would increase the tax on consumption but the voters would have the power to not pay the tax if they put the money in the bank instead of consuming then you save 18% in tax. so, you know, you get to take home that top line in your paycheck and then decide how much tax you pay depending on how much youou spend. i think a lot of voters want the power back in their hands rather than in the hands of government. that's one reason why this plan is so attractive. don't forget in terms of welfare that if you do have a big impact on the unemployment rate and i'm very confident that you would, the people who don't have jobs right now, they are the worst off people in society. if you give them jobs, then that's a very big step in favor of social justice. >> mike: i wish i could talk to you more. i'm going to let herman cain weigh in on it. thank you very much for evaluating herman cain's 999 plan. all right, herman, did you watch our tax experts and get the debate? >>e. yes.

[cheers] >> mike: we will take a break. come back. hold that thought herman, we will get it right after this break. >> i will. >> mike: herman cain when we come back. i have copd. if you have it, you know how hard it can be to breathe and what that fes like copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms... ...by keepinmy airways open... ...a full 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintence treatment that does both.

>> all right. you heard the criticism of herman cain's plan. we have got herman cain joining us from tennessee. is he going to tell us why the 999 plan is a good one. herman you heard what was said that this is going to hurt lower income people, true or not true? >> that is false and here's why. and governor, thankfully, you pointed it out. what a lot of people don't understand is the 999 plan and the sales tax piece is a replacement tax, would are going to replace invisible taxes that are embedded in all products and servicesct with a visible tax ad as a result of that competitors are going to take out the

invisible taxes so the cost of goods will go down and when they pay the 9% retail tax, they will essentially not be paying any more because we're taking the invisible taxes that are embedded and replacing it with a visible tax of a 9% retail sales tax. mike pike you -- >> mike: you talk about invisible taxes. are you talking about the taxes built in because of payroll taxes and taxes on the products as they are being developed, corporations, and this is something people don't understand corporations don't pay tax. they collect it but they pass it on to the consumer in the cost of whatever it is they are doing. whether it's a product or service. you are saying this is now transparent. you know exactly what you are paying. >> you are right, governor. let's take a loaf of bread. well, the produce his or her makes the flour and he he sells it to the baker, he has to make a profit to pay his taxes.

then the baker who bakes it has got to sell it to the grocery store. he has got to make a profit to pay his taxes. well, then the grocery store sales it to the consumer. then he has got to make a profit to pay his taxes. so you have all of those embedded taxes in the cost of that loaf of bread. what we do is we don't tax the production of that loaf of bread. those hidden taxes are pulled out and you pay that 9% because the cost ofou goods will go down so it is not regressive on the poor. it liberates the poor because tax prices don't go up, number one. and they also don't pay any retail taxes on used goods. just like the fair tax. >> when you talk about a loaf of bread like that, i get the distinct impression that we get the heels and the government gets the loaf. it sounds like that. i want to ask another criticism that michael leveled is that this hurts senior citizens. that's going to be a question you have to deal with what's the

response? >> the response is it does not hurt senior citizens for the following reasons. if you join social security, you don't pay taxes on your social security income. you have already paid it. if you have investments and you are living off dividends, well, guess what, you don't pay taxes on dividends twice. you have already paid it. many seniors are living off their social security as well as they're living off their dividend income or they are living off income they might have coming in from stocks, things only get taxed once. that's a big advantage to seniors. so to say that seniors are going to be negatively impacted no. and the goods and services this they buy here again, just like on the poor. prices are going to go down so they will not be negatively impacted by the retail sales tax. >> mike: well, there is a lot more horman that i want to talk with you about. stay with us. we will take a briefl back. when we come back more with

[applause] we are right back >> we are right back with herman cain, so gratefulte for you beig here today. i have ayo question. you were in tennessee. my question as a former candidate in this part of the game, what on earth are you doing in tennessee instead of iowa or nengw hampshire or south carolina? >> well, the reason -- the reason is real simple, mike. you know some states have changed the schedule as to when they are going to hold their primary. some states are still trying to decide whether they are going to use proportion allocation for who is going to win versus winner take all. what this has done is it has compressed the campaign season

leading up to primary and caucus season. that means that states like tennessee are going to have a much bigger impact than they would have had traditionally. so it makes all the sense in the world to spend some time in tennessee. next weekend i'm going to be in iowa. forgotten about iowa and new hampshire, south carolina, but tennessee is going to be much more important than it has been in the past. >> mike: i was going to ask you >> worried that question next when talking about herman cain and now they have talked about herman cain. i have been there it is a good thing and people are talking about you in ways you wish they wouldn't. now they are digging up everything you said and did and discuss personally how are you and your family dealing with the sudden moment in the spotlight and criticisms and some of them personal crit sitches that come.

>> that is a great point, you have been there. since the beginning of my campaign, i have left my family out of this. i have been criticized where is your wife in she's at home. i want to go home to machine who is sane and she maintains that calmness and tranquily and my wife provides calmness and tranquility and with all of the new found attention that i get, i am used to it and i can handle it. my family is not subjected to it. they will eventually see my wife and family. my wife of 43 years. she's not running for president. herman is. and so i am deal the criticism and as you know, mike you will get fair criticism and unfair criticism and having been in the radio business and having been an executive and ceo, we

learn to deal with those things in the leadership roles and this is not a new rodeo that i haven't been to before. >> herman what is the most unfair thing said and one thing you want to correct here today? >> the most unfair thing tt is said, about me, has been that i am not in this to win it. that is the furtherest thing from the truth. i am not doing this for any other reason than to win because i am committed to changing the direction in the nation . i knew before the surge of the last two weeks that the american people, the voice of the people would eventually shine through because the voice of the people is more powerful than the voice of the media and this is what the perception that i want to correct . it is now beginning to show and i am happy about that.

>> herman. it is great to see you and taking time off of the campaign trail and i hope to see you again sometimes soon. >> thank you, michael. >> thank you. and some say occupy wall street protestors should not blame the rich for their famures but their movement is the liberal version of the tea party. is i needed more customers, so i got my nephew to build a website.

then 14 other cars hitting each other. one driver describing it as a war scene from the movie terminator. there were three other drivers hurt. we're waiting to learn their conditions at this hour. drivers had expressed concerns about the high speed of this track. it's also a very crowded track with 34 cars on the track at the time. we have more news on this throughout the night on fox news as it comes in. i am harris falker and now back to huckabee. >> e-mail us at huckabee @ fox news.com. >> i hope you are not missing my daily commentary of the news of the day. it is heard on 600 of the finest radio station. go to mikehuckabee.com, sign up for my facebook page or follow me on twitter. >> we can see how the tea

party has affected the politic. what about if occupy wall street affects it. joining me is editor of the above the law.comand some of the gripes are worth listening to. >> is there room for a left leaning tea party in this country. >> they have tried and they have failed. tea party is a grass roots organization and what we are seeing in wall street right now is something that is led and organized by left wing union george soros groups and they are proped up with people with political agenda. >> you have been down there and tell me what you like and what is not yet to love. >> it is funny to suggest that they are oginized in any way. they are like a herd of cats.

one of thes of the movement is to be disorganized and smur there are some laborun whys down in the part. there are environmentalist and immigrant groups and they are two groups that hit each other with sticks. we are not talking about a group that has a essential focus. they don't want a essential focus. that is a critism of them that they could be more focus. to be a tea party of the left they would have to coalesce to core issues. >> one of the things that was interesting of the survey of folks down there. less than 40 percent of them had voted. these are not voters yet. they could be turned into voters . what does that tell us? >> the movement down there, when they first started, i was amuse hopeful that they opposed the bank bail outs.

but they turned that into a critick against capitalism. socialism bailed them out . that was the government. and taking the taxpayer dollars to bail out cronis and allies. capitalism would have allowed them to fail and reorganize. kids calling this capitalism needs to go away. most americans find radical to the left. >> i think we are looking at two sides of the same coin. in the beginning tea party and occupy wall street opposed the bank bail outs. tea party backed off when it was time to regulate the bankers. occupy wall street let's keep up with the regulations. >> what do they want? do they want somebody else to pay their loans. >> yes. >> no, they don't want a free ride.

they want forgiveness . the morality is people who made mistakes when they were 18 and want to be forbegin for those mistake find a way to get out from under the mountain of debt. >> mike: they want a bail out. couldn't that be a bail out if it was forbegin. >> no, it is interesting aspect of student loans . i take my credit card and i buy rims and that doesn't pay off for me, i discharge that through normal procedures. if i take out loans and it doesn't pay off for me and i am not able to pay them off. i cannot discharge that debt. i am saddled with that loan for the rest of the life. >> mike: fair criticism. >> it is it a matter of the responsibility. we have coddled people with cradle to grave welfare and my daughter just graduated and he
